Like Ralph I use the double sheet bend, but I have made lots of fully
functional hammocks with no sewing at all. What I like about them is I
can be on my way to do some car camping, swing by a walmart or
whatever, grab 3 or 4 yards of cloth, a bag of 3/8 yellow hollow braid
rope (and a some webbing if they have some) and have a perfectly
comfortable hammock for the weekend for less than $10! I just make it
in camp (picnic tables at campgrounds are great for folding them up).

Hi All, I've made three hammocks. All with no sewing/hemming and just rope.
I've bounced around and have my 6'4" 210 lbs test them as well. I have yet to have a failure. I have some pics on here of my back yard setup. With a home made cat tart.
